This is a children's action story about an Old English Sheepdog puppy named Samson. He is born to a present-day family that lives in their old family castle in the English countryside. Samson was raised on stories of courageous dogs and noble heroes of old, and dreams of being a heroic knight one day.

One day, when Samson thinks he is old enough, he leaves the safety of his home to explore beyond the castle grounds. As he wonders the country side looking for adventure, he meets and helps various woodland creatures, making many friends. But, he is discouraged because he doesn't do anything heroic. Or did he?

When it's finally time for Samson to return home, he finds he has lost his way. Soon Samson discovers he is lost, injured, and trapped!

Book 2 of Nameless, Photographing the Dead, is another riveting short story; A psychopathic artist/photographer is getting away with murder in Death Valley. One of Palmer Oxenwald’s hunting grounds is the Mojave wasteland, his victims are random tourists and hikers crossing his path while he waits in anticipation. He not only mutilates and kills his victims, but he keeps trophies, cherished photographs, of his savage deeds.

Now, Palmer's greatest threat is Nameless, who is hunting the hunter. The two men share one thing in common: memories of the dead. For Palmer, the psychopath, they’re an erotic rush captured in black and white. For Nameless, they’re visions of violence, now buried and erased, but for how long? In part two of the Nameless series, the relentless avenger is haunted by nightmares of the past and visions of what’s to come.

I am writing this entry to test out my review blog. I was unsure in creating it, so I will write a short entry and then save it and see how it views. If I need, I will edit the book format, but if it displays the way I intended, I'll keep it as is.

Why not write a review to test it out? Simple, I have to read the rest of my book first. I've started it, but have a ways to go yet before I write my first review. Maybe setting this up and getting everything ready will motivate me to get more reading done.
